Installation Considerations
•
NEVER USE AUTOMOTIVE TYPE FUSES! THEY CAN EXPLODE!!!
•
Avoid
installations where the XC4 will be exposed to the elements or adverse
weather such as rain and snow.
•
Install
the XC4 by mounting to a metal plate. The metal plate will minimize vibration
and allow extra heat dissipation for a long service life.
•
Mount
towards a corner of a metal plate. Corners of mounting plates vibrate less
than the center sections will. Less vibration leads to a longer service life.
•
Do not
install the XC4 in a sealed control box. Free ventilation is required for a long
service life. Forced air is not required.
•
Perform
the initial setup using an Analog voltmeter. It can save your life in the
event of a fault or runaway condition at startup.
Initial Setup and Commissioning
1.
Install the regulator and wire up to the correct wiring diagram (240V or 120V).
2.
If installing the XC4 on a brush-type generator, verify that the brushes and brush
riggings are isolated, ungrounded, and connected ONLY to the XC4.
3.
Turn the internal voltage control fully counter clockwise (left). This procedure is
necessary in case the original factory settings have been altered.
4.
Start up the prime mover and bring up to operating speed and turn on the regulator
switch (if used).
5.
Set the internal voltage adjustment to the desired voltage setting for the generator output
by turning the adjustment screw clockwise (right).
The voltage adjustment is a ONE-turn pot!
NOTE:
The maximum internal voltage setpoint is 260VAC! This helps
prevent accidental over-voltage conditions due to incorrect installation!
6.
Place the generator on line and observe the frequency and voltage regulation during no-
load and full-load
conditions. Once the
voltage is set and
regulating characteristics
are satisfactory the
installation procedure is
complete.
